It is time for another boycott https://secondnexus.com/news/david-hogg-laura-ingraham-another-boycott/?utm_content=inf_677_1164_2&tse_id=INF_cb97b3b0740711e891b1752e4aebc11c
David Hogg, the Parkland, Florida student who survived the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and became one of the nations leading gun reform activists practically overnight, has renewed his call for an advertiser boycott of Fox News personality Laura Ingrahams show, The Ingraham Angle, after she described the child detention centers housing immigrant children as essentially summer camps.
As more illegal immigrants are rushing the border, more kids are being separated from their parents, Ingraham said during her show last night. And temporarily housed at what are, essentially, summer camps.
To underscore her point, Ingraham cited a news report from The San Diego Union-Tribune that compared the camps to boarding schools.

Stoneman Douglas shooting survivor David Hogg launched a boycott against Laura Ingraham after the segment and *at least* one major advertiser has pulled the plug. From Politico:
Politico notes that others may have bailed because there have been fewer spots offered. Fox News contends the boycott is not hurting them:
The media and internet company IAC will no longer be running ads for HomeAdvisor or Angies List on the show, an IAC spokesperson confirmed on Thursday. The day after Ingrahams statements, David Hogg, a survivor of the high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, called on advertisers, including IAC, to boycott Ingraham, a reprise of the highly successful boycott campaign he launched against her in April, after she insulted him on Twitter.
Politico notes that others may have bailed because there have been fewer spots offered. Fox News contends the boycott is not hurting them:
A Fox News spokesperson said the network was unaffected by any loss in advertising resulting from Ingrahams latest comments.
Theres been no impact on our business, and new advertisers continue to opt in for our powerful prime-time lineup, the spokesperson said.
